gmirror

[vohand]

Hardware: SATA RAID adapter with SiliconImage 3114 chip. 2 SATA HDD.
I did gmirror.

Run test:
3 parallel tasks "dd if=/dev/mirror/gm0 of=/dev/null bs=1m count=5000"

gstat shows summary read speed from mirror about 30-40 mbyte/sec.
It is for all balance algorithms: load, round-robin, split

While, one "dd if=/dev/ad4 of=/dev/null bs=1m count=5000" shows 50 mbyte/sec

1. Why it occurs and how fix it ?

2. If in the test instead of three instancies of "dd if=/dev/mirror/gm0
of=/dev/null bs=1m count=5000" run only one, 
   then read speed don`t exceeds read speed from one disk (dd if=/dev/ad4
of=/dev/null bs=1m count=5000)
a) This is gmirror feature ?
b) This is hardware feature (SiliconImage 3114 chip) ?

I don't think is related to your hardware. I have a Dell PowerEdge SC1425 which
is exhibiting the same behaviour from gmirror, my disc controller is an onboard
Intel ICH5.

Pretty reasonable results.

The second drive achieves slightly better seeking, but lower throughput. But the

inside:102400 kbytes in   3.522545 sec =29070 kbytes/sec

Now the same test against the gmirror:

mail# diskinfo -t /dev/mirror/gmirror0

Seek times:
Full stroke:  250 iter in   1.347611 sec =5.390 msec
Half stroke:  250 iter in   1.335664 sec =5.343 msec

Transfer rates:

middle:102400 kbytes in   3.138420 sec =32628 kbytes/sec
inside:102400 kbytes in   4.498140 sec =22765 kbytes/sec

The seek times are way down, which is great, and makes sense using a
round-robin strategy on the mirror, but my peak transfer rate has been
almost halved too.

I don't mind this too much as in my application low seek times are worth
more than high transfer rates, but it is still puzzling to me to see such a
remarkable drop in throughput.

Thanks very much for insight,

Thanks for the great work.

I installed it on a laptop PC, NEC VersaPro NX VA20C, for my
friend. It works fine without any problem. You can see the
/var/run/dmesg.boot at

http://heimat.jp/~nakaji/FreeBSD/dmesg.boot.va20c

But there was a problem when installing.

With this CD, execute of /stand/sysinatall fails, that is, the system
stucks.

I had to give up ftp installation and download larger iso file.

With this CD or 3 froppies, the installation goes well.

This is the way RAID1 works. Try to imagine how disk's heads are moving -
there will be no speed-up in sequential reads, this is not RAID0.

Mirror characteristics are:
- the same speed for sequential reads as for one disk;
- the same speed for sequential/random write as for one disk;
- double speed of one disk for random reads;

Best gigabit ethernet NIC for 5.4?

What is the best PCI gigabit NIC out there right now?  For 100Mbit/s I

three parallel tasks of "dd " is not good model for random reads ?

There is my tool in ports (benchmarks/raidtest/) which does what you want.
The README file wasn't moved to ports, IIRC, you can find it here:

5.4-RELEASE amd64: Panic isadma_start : bad bounce buffer

[Steven Hartland]

Just been trying to install FreeBSD 5.4 amd64 here and
when loading the raid control kernel module driver ( hptmv )
from floppy and booting I was getting:
Panic isadma_start : bad bounce buffer
The driver install docs stated to disable ACPI it this happened
this prevented the cards from being detected. Anyway I found
a workaround which is interesting. After loading the module
from floppy I unplugged the floppy drive this seems to fix the
issue, no panic and the controllers detected find ( installing as
we speak ) so is there a problem with floppy access in amd64
5.4?

Maybe. Or CD-R drive may have some problem, because disc1 was burnt on
another same medium but with another DVD-R drive.

Anyway, 5.4-RELEASE is now working. Thanks.

This is a known bug; floppy drives don't work on amd64 since the ISA DMA
buffer gets allocated above 16MB.  I don't know if this is something that
needs to be handled by busdma.

For large sequential reads on a round-robin mirror, you might be forcing
each drive to do a lot more small seeks than if you just accessed the
data from a single drive, and those small seeks may be slowing down the
overall transfer significantly.  I would have thought that large,
whole-track caches prevalent on modern hard disks would ameliorate that
problem in an otherwise quiescent environment, but, dependent upon the
drive's caching policy, you never know...

Paul.

Probably not, especially if you start the parallel tasks going at the
same time.  That way, the second and third tasks are almost certainly
hitting data in the hard drive's cache, rather than the actual disk
platters, and so are more likely to be testing the interface transfer
speed than the hard drive's sustained performance.  For a better model
(of parallel large sequential transfers), you should at the very least
stagger the start times of each task, to minimise cache effects.

The better question to ask yourself is this: are large sequential
transfers a good model of my workload.  That is what you are testing
with your dd's.  Seek times are the dominant cost of a disk transfer.
Large sequential transfers are a best-case scenario for I/O measurements
because they involve minimal seek overheads.  However, "best-case" and
"real-world" are not usually the same thing.

Cheers,

Paul.

It measures file system performance, so it is basically not this level,

Re: Can't use AC97 sound in 5.4

[Nguyen Tam Chinh]

Hi,
You've added wrong driver for your sound card.
From man snd_ich:
--
The snd_ich driver supports the following audio devices:
 o   AMD 768
 o   AMD 8111
 o   Intel 443MX
 o   Intel ICH
 o   Intel ICH revision 1
 o   Intel ICH2
 o   Intel ICH3
 o   Intel ICH4
 o   Intel ICH5
 o   Intel ICH6
 o   NVIDIA nForce
 o   NVIDIA nForce2
 o   NVIDIA nForce2 400
 o   NVIDIA nForce3
 o   NVIDIA nForce3 250
 o   NVIDIA nForce4
 o   SiS 7012
---
But in fact you have a VIA sound card :)
The easiest way is add" sound_load="YES" to loader.conf, the other way is 
view the sound driver modules in /boot/kernel and choose what's your.

PS. this question should go to question@ not stable@ :)

5.4 install disc1 will not find hard drive

[fbsd_user]

I have seen this problem on the questions list since 5.0 first can out as
development version. Here 5.4 is now stable release and this problem is
still not fixed. I have been using the same pc to test installing stable
versions from miniinst.iso every version since 3.4 without any problems.
Even 5.3-miniinst.iso worked just 2 weeks ago. The 5.4 stable does not have
a miniinst.iso file so this time I used the disc1.iso to burn the install cd
from and when booting from this cd I now get no hard drive found message
from sysinstall (standard install) menu. This sure looks very strange to me
as I can put in the cd burned from the 5.3-miniinst.iso file and the system
installs just fine. Only difference is using disc1 this time. Even though
the md5 CHECKSUM matched I downloaded and reburned disc1.iso again just to
verify it was good.

Power management and APIC have been bios disabled since version FreeBSD 3.4
version so that is not the problem. I tried selecting safe option to boot
and still get same error 'no hard disk found".   My hard drive is an western
digital 310100 on ata0 as master. When using this 5.4 install cd on other
pc/ motherboard/ hard drive combos I get same error.

I think there is something wrong with the build process of the disc1.iso
file. The miniinst.iso must be build using a different canned script that
does not incorporated the bug that is in the disc1 build.   Maybe the .ISO
builds team needs to take a look at this problem.

And to continue on with this thought  why does 5.4 NOT have a miniinst.iso
file?

DEVFS Overflow table

[Thomas Beer]

Dear all,

after upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4-Stable
I get 

DEVFS Overflow table with 65538 entries allocated

I already doubled the values in the kernel config via

options NDEVFSINO=2050
options NDEVFSOVERFLOW=65538

with no avail. The error message pops up if a user
(fails to) start ppp but not if root starts ppp. Any pointers?

Hi,

but the display is re-painted so fast I cannot read it).
What I *can* do is insert my SuSE9.2-pro cd1, boot from that and at the
grub-menu say "boot from harddisk".
That boots FreeBSD. 

On advice from IRC, I tried:
# boot0cfg -B twed0 

-which leads to this output 

boot0cfg: write_mbr: /dev/twed0: No such file or directory
This is a erroneous message. The actual problem is: 

   484 boot0cfg NAMI  "/dev/twed0"
   484 boot0cfg RET   open -1 errno 1 Operation not permitted 

This is a known problem with certain MBR layouts. To work around this
problem, set: 

sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 

then try your boot0cfg. There's a protection mechanism that sometimes gets
confused by certain partition table layouts. Flag 16 disables that
protection.  I don't recommend running this unless you are explicitly
trying to updating something in a partition table-like area; its very easy
to destroy your system with the flag set!

I booted from CD and ran the boot0cfg "offline" - however, this worked only 
on one server. I have two more identical servers that now just beep 
endlessly at the F1-prompt.
I was told it is a geometry problem, but what else can I do?

Remote Printing

Hi Guys,

I been reading FreeBSd docs on remote pritning.
It mostly talks about setting up a local printer.
In which case, I could care less about since I want to
print to my HP Jetdirect print server.
Mainly, I really don't want to install CUPS. I would
just like to use the default lp that comes with
FreeBSD.
Can anyone direct me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Uncomment/Tweak the following in your /etc/printcap:

remote|sample remote printer:\
:sh:\
:rm=lphost:sd=/var/spool/output/lphost:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs

Make sure the spool directory exists, create if not there. For your
installation you don't need an if= attribute. Make sure lpd is
running, enable within /etc/rc.conf.

lpd_enable="YES"# Run the line printer daemon.

You can configure it as a local printer, with the "device" set to
@.  For example:
  ps|Brother HL-1270N PostScript:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/brother:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
Don't forget to create the spool directory.
This has worked fine for me for years.  See docs/78480.

The print server emulator in HP JetDirect tends to be single threaded,
and so does not respond to requests like "lpq" while printing, which is
why I prefer the method in my previous mail (configuring the printer
as "local" with "lp=@". Queueing is then handled locally).

You probably also want to use the options of your printer
(single/doublesided, short/long edge, resolution, input tray, paper
type, etc.)  In that case I recommend getting the foomatic-rip filter (a
single large perl script) from linuxprinting.org/foomatic-rip, which
parses your printer's PPD file (which normally comes with the printer,
or is available from the vendor's site.)

I haven't gotten local filters to work with remote printers plus passing
arguments to them with the antique base lpr, so I installed LPRng.
Easier to set up and more transparent than cups in any case (but you
have to remove/rename the base lpr and put NO_LPR=yes into make.conf).

This is a bug in the ACPI DSDT table in the BIOS. If upgrading the BIOS
causes this then contact your systems vendor and complain since the prior
BIOS table did not have these errors. It obviously goes away when ACPI is
disabled since the table is not evaluated in that instance.

Its likely harmless.

Re: 5.4-RELEASE amd64: Panic isadma_start : bad bounce buffer

As another workaround, add this to loader.conf and reboot:

vm.old_contigmalloc="1"

This uses the old contigmalloc algorithm which may be more successful as
allocating the bounce buffer area.

What hardware (motherboard, cpus, memory, etc.) are you using?

You can hit Scroll Lock and use the arrow keys or page up/down to look at
the boot messages. Near the bottom of the output should be the disk probe
-- this may have more details. If not, try booting and selecting the
"verbose boot" option.

The only difference is the files included in the mkisofs run. The exact
same files are used.

That's a good question :-) I didn't realize we hadn't made one.

5.4 and asus k8n nforce3 250

[Zoran Kolic]

Dear all!
I've installed 5.4 for amd64 on this asus
mobo. Went just fine, but few things make
me nervous.
1. Cannot see ethernet interface. There is
RJ-45 port, but not in dmesg (attached). In
manual says "ic plus ip101 10/100 lan phy".
Default on board is "PnP on". How could I
make OS to recognize the interface? Also,
it has "onboard lan boot rom", but doesn't
change anything.
2. Some acpi error messages. Board has "acpi 2.0"
possibility. Should I turn it on? (See dmesg.)
3. Mouse is on after power down. On ps/2. I'll
try it as usb. Probably some S tuning, default
is S3. Maybe S1?
4. "Xorg" doesn't recognize "ModLine" option
anymore. How could I change frequency in this
situation? 85 Hz looks too much for my monitor.
5. I cannot find app for board and cpu tempe-
rature reading. Peviously I used xmbmon. Is
there some little app for this on k8n?
Best regards

   Zoran

I don't think there is anything wrong with the build process of
disc1.iso.  I think instead that someone made a change in the atapi
driver that broke this.

I have a Intel Desktop Motherboard VC820 that this exact thing happened
to.  In my case, I fortunately was running a Hipoint RAID card in it so
the only thing that got wacked was the system now does not recognize
that there is a CDROM on the secondary onboard IDE controller.  Last
week I had it running FreeBSD 4.11 just fine.  (not on the RAID
controller)

I had assumed that using the RAID controller made it so that the onboard
ATAPI controller had some problem, but after seeing this post it is clear
that they broke the driver.

DO you want to file a PR or should I?

Ted
